Dr Ann Pettifor

To protect the systems that sustain life on earth, we need to do more than just reimagine the economy – we have to change everything. From one of the original thinkers of the program that helped ignite the US Green New Deal campaign, Ann Pettifor explains how we can afford what we can do. We have done it before – and can do it again.

Ann Pettifor @AnnPettifor is the Director of Prime, an Honorary Research Fellow at City University, a Research Associate at SOAS and a Fellow of the New Economics Foundation. Her new book is The Case for the Green New Deal.

This event will be chaired by Sam Fankhauser, Director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
